ANDROID AUTOMOTIVE & IN-CAR UI
BMW appointed me as one of the technical owners of its in-car UI Library, a role between product owner and platform engineer. I shape, review and plan the public Jetpack Compose APIs that app teams across BMW Group build on.
• BMW M: themed the full component library in light and dark mode using design tokens.
• Co-driver display and rear-seat Theatre Screen in 2026 BMW models: owned the UI Library work; named in BMW's public thanks at launch.
• Rolls-Royce: lead engineer bringing the UI Library to its dedicated display. Also contributed to MINI.
• Co-designed the architecture for rendering apps on BMW's new external displays (customised AOSP).
• Streamed smartwatch health data via the phone to a car's head unit.

DESIGN SYSTEMS & TESTING
I turn Figma designs into stable component APIs: each delivery broken down into public interfaces, design-token changes and tests. I own screenshot testing for the library (tens of thousands of Roborazzi tests), cutting flaky failures and speeding up CI.

MEDICAL APPS & BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY
• Roche / mySugr (millions of users): moved insulin-pump dose merging from a hardware device into the app, handling de-duplication, timestamp matching and conflict resolution. Launched as mySugr Pump Control (2021);
• Built a Bluetooth LE SDK for a smart insulin pen, implementing its encrypted protocol from the manufacturer's spec.
• Experienced with regulated medical-software documentation and quality processes.

ANDROID SECURITY
Bug bounty hunter on Intigriti; disclosed vulnerabilities to Publer, acknowledged by their team. Focus: IPC (AIDL, exported components, content providers), intent redirection, certificate pinning. Tools: jadx, Ghidra, Burp Suite. I write about it on my blog, Dispatcher's Playground.

TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP
Tech Lead for a team of engineers: PR reviews, unblocking work, technical sessions, and the link between client and agency leadership.

KOTLIN MULTIPLATFORM
Built Belt, an Android and iOS app from a single Compose Multiplatform codebase. Gave a KMP talk at a Munich Android meetup; GDG Tirana speaker since 2019.

TECH STACK
Kotlin, Java, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines & Flow, MVVM/MVI, Clean Architecture, Hilt/Dagger, Room, Retrofit, Android Automotive/AOSP, Roborazzi, JUnit, Gradle, CI/CD, BLE, Ktor, Figma.
